Another book that I frequently reference. A must-have for all Dead Heads. It's a book of lyrics to all the songs Robert Hunter wrote for the Grateful Dead over the years. Of course he didn't write all of their songs, so you won't find every song the Dead did. It's a funny book to read to see how off you've been on the lyrics for so many years!

Visiting this book quite often, I love to read the lyrics and pass through the music in my head. Its also quite handy - with some songs you can never quite figure the lyrics when listening to live cuts.

The lyric's of Robert Hunter, a true poet. I have read and been reading through this book for years. It is bookmarked, tabbed, highlighted and dog-eared. It's one of those books I cold never part with.
